Chapter 3
I cling to the leather seat of the German's private plane. We have traveled to Berlin for the safety of the family and apparently a war has broken out with the Italian mafia.
“Meine Schönheit, my sister has died because of Giorgio Jean Luca, we have come to this city to protect you. You will always be the most dearest thing to me.” Sabrina says while taking a sip of cognac. He looks tired and I can see the pain reflected in his eyes. Wendy, only twenty-four years old, was the only living blood relative of the German. When her parents died at the hands of the Irish mob, the mobster took over the charge of her little sister and the family business.
“We will be fine.” I speak holding his hand.
We are greeted by a group of men at the airport before walking through the German police. These men do not know what a couple of bills can do in this corrupt society.
After we moved into our brand-new house, I threw my bag on the king size bed immediately, take off my clothes, and is taking a bath to relax my muscles when I realized they have violated the security of the mansion in Bramen.
I feel a pounding in my chest. The Italian mafia is not going around the bush, if they have declared war I am more than sure that I will be Giorgio's first target.
"What are you thinking, love?" Sabrina's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. He pours some wine into a glass and hands it to me. The foam of the bathtub covers my naked body.
“Giorgio.” I mumble.
Sabrina sighs, “Speaking of which…I didn't mean to tell you anything in Bramen, but my sister's body had this note on it.”
My heart freezes.
«Next is Sabrina, take proper care of your wife. You never know when it will be the last time you see her alive.
GJL»
I get up from the tub, cover my body with a towel, the temperature turns cold. Sabrina tries to reassure me that he won't let anything terrible happen to me, but I don't know if I believe him.
**********
The mansion is in chaos, men come and go from the property; Jason gives instructions to a group of people and they nod at his command.
"Mrs...." Angela Gabriela, the woman Sabrina has made available to me, calls me.
"Tell me, Angie." I cut the stem of one of the many roses in the garden.
“I've prepared breakfast for you, you can go to the country terrace.”
I get up and smile at her. Sabrina has been busy all morning and I appreciate it. I'm not in the mood to put up with his stupidity. One of the servants serves me fruit and yogurt to eat. I look in the distance as a couple of trucks arrive with more men.
I roll my eyes. Everything would have been easier if my dad had never handed me over to the German beast.
It's almost seven at night, Sabrina hasn't been home all day. Angie keeps me company as I read Pride and Prejudice.
I walk to the balcony of my room. The cold of the night shelters me, and the guards move from one side to another protecting the property of Berlin. I sigh ready to rest a little, knowing that as soon as Sabrina arrives I will have many hours awake. I try to move but am paralyzed as my body is doused with water. I open my eyes and glare at the asshole who has caused this.
When I see him smile, I clench my hands. I manage to see it, his features are marked, his messy brown hair is beautiful. He has strong arms, pectorals and buttocks. I squeeze my legs. It's the first time someone has put me this effect. Angie walks in and asks me what's going on.
I rush out to the garden ready to put that guy in his place. The servants and men call me, but I'm too angry with that stranger.
"You…" I point to him, the man half-smiling and I feel like I'm losing my sanity.
“Tell me.” I release the air from my lungs, Jason asks me if I'm okay and I ask him to leave now.
"Speak to me with respect. Don't you know who I am?"
"Should I?" the handsome man says arrogantly.
"I'm..." When he wets me again with the hose that I didn't realize he is holding until now, I open my eyes and gasp like a fish.
"But what..." Angie laughs, I turn to leave, Sabrina comes through the front door and I'm glad he doesn’t notice me. I rush upstairs and change quickly. Jason knocks on my bedroom door a couple of times to let me know my husband needs to see me. I walk out and go downstairs. Sabrina is sitting in the swivel body chair in his office. He hardly sees me he gets up and kisses my mouth with such determination.
“You look so gorgeous," he whispers against my lips.
I take a seat next to him. Sabrina intertwines our fingers and plays with my hair. “What are you going to do now?' German asks me.
"I don’t know…" I roll my eyes. I would be in danger if I stayed at home all day.
Someome knocks wooden door a couple of times. I adjust my skirt that has risen a few centimeters due to the caresses of the German. I turn to adjust my clothing a bit.
“Please accept my warm welcome to our family, Erick. I look forward to being able to count on you for the most significant things in my life.” My husband says as I turn to see who Sabrina is talking to and I freeze when I see the asshole who has wet me in front of him.
"Sabrina, this is your newly appointed bodyguard…”
And I let out a heavy sigh.

Chapter 04Sabrina SchulzSay something stupid, say it now before Sabrina realizes you're nervous about a man you don't know and it's obviously not him.“Erick Spencer, Mrs. Schulz.” His blue eyes look at me mockingly. The German is behind him looking at what I would do. I look at Erick's hand and walk past the mobster. Sabrina gives a satisfied half-smile. I hear the bodyguard click his tongue.“My wife is something… special. She doesn't like new people. However, as you know my wife is the most dearest thing to me, much more than my empire.” He sits in the swivel chair at his desk. “That's why you're here Erick, to protect Mrs Schulz. I have hired you because Dimitri, my best friend and lifelong colleague, has given me very positive references from you.” My husband makes me sit on his lap. Erick stares at me and then at his new boss. Sabrina points to the lighter for me to pass it to him, and I do so without delay. He quickly light his cigar."Five years in special services and three
Chapter 5I smooth the fabric of the skirt I'm wearing, the heels today are heavier than usual. I go through the kitchen and eat a little watermelon before getting ready to take a dip in the mansion's pool. Angie brings me some morning cappuccino, the one I love to drink every day. The employees ask me about things in the house and I tell them that they make the decisions, since today I want it to be a day for myself.“The gentleman has gone to close a deal in Bramen.” I try not to smile listening to Gasper, one of his best men."You can go." He turns away, but turns back as if remembering something.“The gentleman left a message—damn,” he says. “He is waiting for her at eight o'clock at night in the restaurant where he took her to dinner for the first time. That she wore the red dress that he liked so much. Dimitri will take her.”I lean back on the beach chair. The bikini I wear Sabrina was bought for me a couple of weeks ago on our trip to Paris. Angie helps me apply sunscreen befo
Chapter 06Sabrina SchulzHis eyes tell me everything.I am confident that I will not be able to save myself from this. My body is being dragged to the punishment room. Angela gets in the way between the door and Sabrina, but a gun to her head drives her back. Erick has his arms crossed and I shake my head when I see his intention to intervene.I close my eyes as I feel the click of the door. From here I can hear Angie's sobs. I tremble as I feel him pass behind me. He walks over to one of the drawers near the window and I gasp as I watch him pull out a riding crop."Kneel down," he exclaims in a tone so icy that it makes hairs on my skin stand on end."Sabrina…" I gasp. The German bit his lower lip before slapping me in the face."Why are you doing this to me, love? I have given you my life for six years, I have built a castle for my queen, and you still don't love me? What do other men have that I don't have?" His lips leave trails of saliva down my cheeks. "But I'm sure of one thin
Chapter 07Sabrina SchulzOut of nowhere it starts to rain.It is as if the world knows the state of mind of the beast, it is as if everything within it can be felt by our surroundings. I walk carefully to get behind him. Erick's words echo over and over in my head. If I can do this, will I be free? I would lose my life if something went wrong, but at least I can try.Water drips all over my dress before Erick sends someone to cover me from the rain. The beast's eyes and nose are red from crying. People look at me since it is not common for me to be away from the German, so I stand next to him so as not to attract attention.I receive a bouquet of red roses for the queen's grave from Angie, the one who deserves only death.“Where were you?” Sabrina asks, holding my hand tightly. I move my feet from side to side as I feel the stinging."I went to get some fresh air… Love, you hurt me." I say trying to reassure him.The priest asks Devora Schulz's only son to give a last word to his mot
Chapter 8Sabrina Schulz.I squeeze my legs as I see how Gian's gaze meets mine.The Italian enters behind him and I feel how my soul theoretically leaves my body. Erick gives me a fleeting smile, whereas the German holds his back straight with arrogance and haughtiness.The blood will flow only if the Italian dies in front of everyone.Gian Lucas says something to his henchman. He just nods. I turn to the side to take Adele by the hand and protect her in case someone gets shot. Sabrina walks up to the Italian, perhaps to provoke him.“I thought you were dead already, Gian. Bad grass never dies, does it?" the German says mockingly."If you die, I'll keep your wife's delicacy, yes?" He answers with the same tone as Sabrina. I can see from here how his body shakes. My heart starts pounding. Erick positions himself in front of me. In one of his ears, he wears a microphone with which he communicates with the rest of the men. As the twins cling to the Italian's arm, Sabrina stands alone, e
Chapter 09Sabrina SchulzThe soul is in a thread.Erick covers my mouth so that I don't make a sound, he gently unites his eyebrows and puts himself on alert. As he releases his hand from my lips, he walks to the door and realizes who he is.Cautiously placing one of his eyes over the hole in the door, he rests each of his hands on the wood of the door. He backs away quickly. "It's Sabrina..." he says with a small mouth and I can swear my heart has stopped beating.I move my eyes to see what we are about to do. However, I am too upset, and if the German beast discovers we are locked in, he knocks again and I panic. I hear the wheels of a cart pulled by a waitress who is passing by and my hands start to shake."Who is in this room?" I hear Sabrina say with a strong German accent.The woman is silent for a few seconds, perhaps because of how intimidating the German is. "That room is unoccupied, do you want to see it?"No…no no…I walk to the bathroom door and try to turn the knob. Eric
Chapter 10Sabrina Schulz.I cover my face with a pillow.I wake up like a teenage girl who has been spoken to for the first time by her crush. I sit on the edge of my bed and listen to my overflowing heart. Did Erick really say that?'Because you are addicted to Sabrina, so much so that I have already become addicted to you…'I put my hands on my mouth so as not to scream. I realized that I hadn't slept at all as it was almost seven in the morning. After his strange confession, the blonde left my room leaving me with so many questions to ask him. Sabrina left for Mexico last night to make some deliveries and negotiations. At least I will have three days of calm.I finished taking a shower and getting ready.Angie smiles at me as soon as she sees me and I take a deep breath realizing the bodyguard is nowhere to be seen. A playful Adele hugs me from behind, making her scream a bit."Are you crazy, Adele Erick?!" I ask her while breathing heavily.The blonde woman laughed. I sit at the
Chapter 11Sabrina SchulzMy chin trembles.Erick puts a hand on my shoulder to try to calm me down. I hear Sabrina sigh deeply on the other end of the phone. I can't believe that even when I'm far away I don't stop controlling myself."What are you talking about, love?" Erick annihilates me with his eyes."He answered me immediately and not even two seconds passed and he located you. Do you see my stupid face, liebe?" I bite my lower lip."I had a problem in the kitchen and Mr. Spencer has cordially helped me take down the china. How is everything in Mexico? Have you been able to move forward?" He doesn't answer me at all. "Sabrina? Sabrina?" I jump when I hear a shot. "What was that? Sabrina!"I hear absolutely nothing."Pass your phone to Erick and lock yourself in your room now.""What's going on?" Another shot is being heard. "Sabrina!" Erick grabs my phone and I run to my room. Adele gets up as soon as she sees me upset. I have no idea what time she walks in and lay on my bed.M
